Doh.  No, I didn't think about the DHCP release.  I just cobbled this
together back in the Fedora 14 days and it seemed to work.  The only 
problem I had was that it broke when systemd reared it's head, so I had
to learn how to play with that...

Hmmm... I don't even know how to test to see if I've changed access
points.  How do I do that?

Thanks!
